we have 2 dogs and to prepare we just made sure we set some boundaries with the baby's room and played with them as much as possible, but also made sure they knew when they had to calm down. an important thing was we made sure to have a blanket at the hospital to wrap LO in so that the pups could smell the scent before LO came home from the hospital. the pups have adapted well and love LO like she has always been there!

We just introduced each dog to her separately. We have the loving room gated off so they can't go in there. They rarely go in her room. They both love her to pieces. We never let them alone with her, not because we think they'll bite but because we're concerned they could step on her or start playing and fall on her or they play and she decides to reach in to touch them.

We bought a crying baby doll that we put lotion on, carried around and put in the swing. They did really good with it. Also we are working on their basic commands to make sure they are good. They also know to sit or lay when we walk in the room with the baby. The last thing we will do is bring our sons blanket home with his scent on it. I am due sept 29, and I hope we are all set. We have been working on this for about 8 months.

Thanks! Mine love kids, but the have never been around a newborn, youngest was I think 9 months. They actually always kiss kids and are very excited, but if the baby is here to stay I hope they don't get jealous or over protective. I trust that they won't hurt the baby on purpose, but they are 65 and 75 lb pit bulls, and think they are lapdogs!

I just wanted to tell you that work with pits, and they are some of the biggest babies. Now when a baby comes into their family. They go from being your big babies to nanny dogs. It is actually their nickname. Just remember to let them know you are Mom to them and your little one and what you say goes. The pits I work with go on to either be nanny dogs (aka dogs great with families, or therapy dogs.) Yours sound alot like mine, big, adorable, loveable, and sometimes clumsy. Just like you have to learn to be careful with your little one they will too. They will also learn what kind of play is okay and what's not around the little one. Mine did with my stepson and in a matter of days learned to be gentle and snuggly with him and rough and tumble with daddy. They became super gentle with me when I got pregnant and seem to "watch over my belly" Let them be involved but also keep some boundaries. They are brilliantly smart animals and will learn what's cool and what's not. So don't worry much. If they were good with kids they will be great with yours! Cause that will be their little buddy.
